MAX7219 Breakout System
About the MAX7219 Breakout System
MAX7219 Breakout System is an open source PCB design by MobiFlight, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 80 × 80 mm, with 29 components from 8 distinct parts.
Other key parts include the MAX7219CNG. By type, the board carries 11 connectors, 8 capacitors, 4 ICs, 4 resistors and 2 diodes.
It belongs with the dev boards & breakouts designs in this gallery.
From the project
PCBs and breakout boards, designed by the MobiFlight community
These chips are already connected in a daisy chain on the PCB, creating a chain of 4, together capable of driving 32 digits. Since MobiFlight allows up to 8 MAX chips in a single daisy chain, a second module can be connected through the OUT connector (J11). With two boards connected, the daisy chain will consist of all 8 MAX chips, for a total capability of 64 digits.
